Is famed attorney Gloria Allred angling to become a boxing promoter? It sure sounded like it Wednesday during a press conference in Times Square where she was flanked by legendary promoters Don King and Bob Arum.

Allred was there in her role as legal counsel to Christy Martin, who returns to ring on the undercard of the March 12 super welterweight title fight between Miguel Cotto and Ricardo Mayorga in Las Vegas.

Martin, 42, will be fighting for the first time since being allegedly stabbed, shot and pistol whipped by her 66-year-old husband and former trainer James Martin during a domestic dispute at their Florida home Nov. 23.

“She’s not a complainer and she is not a quitter,” Allred said from the podium where King and Arum introduced other boxers. “Instead she is a champion and a winner. She is an inspiration to every woman, who has been down, but refuses to be counted out.

“Christy is back,” Allred continued. “She is strong, tough and committed to winning. She is a true coal miner’s daughter and she is giving it her all. She is resilient, re-energized and ready for victory.”

Martin’s husband is in a Florida jail charged with attempted murder with a firearm, attempted murder with a deadly weapon, and aggravated battery. His trial is scheduled for May 2011.

Allred called boxing “a wonderful and exciting world,” but said she has no plans to get involved with the sport beyond representing Martin. The March bout will be the first Allred will attend in person.

“It’s going to be hard to watch Christy if she takes any blows,” Allred said. “But she’s going to give more than she’s going to get.”
